anybody who's ever taken their car into a subaru dealership for any problems understands this joke. i took my car in for an oil leak and they blamed my blow off valve and me driving too hard. i asked about the slopper shifter and they said it was because i lean/push too hard on the shifter when i drive... i always drive with two hands on the wheel... i took it in for clutch shudder and they said i didn't know how to drive stick... **** subaru service

I coulda bought parts with the money subaru stiffed me for a having pink springs on my car. Denied my claim then it was misdiagnosed anyway. Guess now its covered.. Good news for the new starters I suppose.

I saw the new intake in person at Subaru MotorSports day back in October. The testing engineer that was there with the 2006 STI. He had a prototype SPT Air Intake for WRX + STI. It has moldings on it to secure the stock vacuum lines as well as a bracket to support the intake so it doesn't just hang loose like a dong in boxers. It was a very nice looking intake! I'm deifinately getting it.
P.S. Here is Performance Import Trend's web page:http://www.performance-trends.com/

compare two intakes, one inside the engine compartment, one outside the engine compartment in direct ambient airflow(or at least isolated from the engine bay heat), which would you consider is a "cold air" intake?

so, yes while moving the intake temps may be cooler than sitting, however, try measuring on a hot day a true cold air intake vs this subaru model. It is not uncommon to drop IAT's by 100 degrees moving the filter from the engine bay heat. so, think about that.....
